[Aime-users] Changes and update

[George N. <no...@ac...>]

Hi all!

	Sorry for those who have e-mailed me but not received a response yet.  I
still have your e-mails and fully intend to respond.  As you may have
guessed by my silence, I haven't gotten to much since the 0.59 release.
This quarter ends in about two weeks and I hope to be able to invest some
time into fixing the bugs and adding a few features to the code.  After all,
I can't very well have AIME be below 60% activity ranking on sourceforge!
;)

	I did make a change to the way I handle changing locations of objects.  It
uses polymorphism a little more and should be cleaner.  I also think it is
going to fix the biggest crash bug that seems to be bringing the mud engine
down fairly regularly.  I set it up to perform a few checks and if it finds
inconsistencies, it will raise a segmentation fault in order to produce a
core dump.  You can turn this off by undefining CRASH_ON_FAULT in config.h.
You can get the code in the CVS tree (CVSROOT has changed, it is now at
/CVSROOT/aime, (lowercase), not /CVSROOT/AIME, it had broken my CVS), or
wait till I have tested it and fixed a few other things, and I will release
0.59.1.

	Also, a few have indicated that the AskConvert.cpp and AskConvert.h files
are missing in the win32 directory.  I have fixed this in the CVS tree and
they should be included in the next release.  In the meantime, you can
download them at:

ftp://aime.sourceforge.net/pub/aime/AskConvert.cpp
ftp://aime.sourceforge.net/pub/aime/AskConvert.h

	I'll be responding to all your e-mails and trying to take care of the bugs
gradually so please bear with me.  I'll write more later.

George
